So this semester has been pretty busy. Not just in terms of classes, but also due to my extracurricular activities. Since I had a pretty easy workload this semester, I decided to commit to being in numerous dance performances. I had never danced in anything before college, and then my first semester at OU I got added to a group to dance for something called ISA Diwali Night. I absolutely loved it, so I decided to do more! This semester, I actually participated in five different dance groups, with a total of ten performances total. I had dance practice almost every day for different things, and I would often get confused on which practice I was going to next.
I also had trouble staying on top of some of my classes. I never missed a class or forgot an assignment, but since I was always tired at the end of the night after dance practice, I would just sleep and then have to rush to do my homework the next day or night. I did get everything done, but I skipped a whole week's worth of assignments in this class for that reason. I also had a Genetics test on the same day as Eve of Nations, in which we had rehearsals the whole week of, so I couldn't study much for that. My goal for this week is to allocate all the time I used to be at dance practice, to studying for my next Genetics test, which is on this Friday.
I am a little worried about finals coming up. I only have one final exam, which is in Genetics. However, I have a final paper to write for two of my classes. That scares me just because I take forever to get started on papers (yay, procrastination). And of course, this class doesn't have a final, but I still need to stay on top of it and complete all my assignments for the week/weekend.
I have so much free time now and I can finally get back to sleeping and seeing people outside of my dance practices, but I also need to remember that the end of the semester is only three weeks away! My goals for the end of the semester include:
My joy at the fact that I get to start sleeping again (taken from my phone camera).

- Getting all A's
- Applying to internships for the summer
- Sleeping a normal amount (although that never happens)
- Making plans with some of my international student friends who are leaving after this semester
- Giving gifts (such as painting canvases or something) to the people who have inspired me this semester and who I truly appreciate in my life
Hi Akriti! I think it's really cool that you found something you're so passionate about this semester with dance! I also completely understand your anxiety about getting papers done. I have three due and it's always so hard to get started until it's almost too late. As you can tell by the time of this comment, I also have a procrastination problem. Anyway, I hope your papers and genetics final go well and that you get a fantastic internship, I'll be sending good vibes your way!
